Changes in v7:
- add review tag;
- rebase with for-7.0/block;
Changes in v6:
- split patch 3 to factor out a helper;
- improve some wording;
Changes in v5:
- just resend with new email server;
Changes in v4:
- add review tag for the last patch 3;
- rebase with my new email address, patches are not changed;
Changes in v3:
- use guard()/scope_guard() in patch 3;
- add review tag other than patch 3;
Changes in v2:
- keep limit_depth() method for kyber and mq-deadline in patch 3;
- add description about sysfs api change for kyber and mq-deadline;
- improve documentation in patch 7;
- add review tag for patch 1;
Background and motivation:
At first, we test a performance regression from 5.10 to 6.6 in
downstream kernel(described in patch 5), the regression is related to
async_depth in mq-dealine.
While trying to fix this regression, Bart suggests add a new attribute
to request_queue, and I think this is a good idea because all elevators
have similar logical, however only mq-deadline allow user to configure
async_depth.
patch 1-4 add new queue attribute async_depth;
patch 5 convert kyber to use request_queue->async_depth;
patch 6 covnert mq-dedaline to use request_queue->async_depth, also the
performance regression will be fixed;
patch 7 convert bfq to use request_queue->async_depth;
Yu Kuai (8):
block: convert nr_requests to unsigned int
blk-mq-sched: unify elevators checking for async requests
blk-mq: factor out a helper blk_mq_limit_depth()
blk-mq: add a new queue sysfs attribute async_depth
kyber: covert to use request_queue->async_depth
mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depth
block, bfq: convert to use request_queue->async_depth
blk-mq: add documentation for new queue attribute async_dpeth
